750 mL bottle. Originally reviewed 5/25/2013.
Viscous inky black. Stains the glass. Nice mocha head.
Nose is still surpringly peppery, though not a distinct type of pepperiness. Chocolate. Light bourbon. Vanilla. Not a ton of barrel.
Tastes of chocolate and then immediately peppery. Alcoholic. Some cinnamon. Lots of chocolate. The bourbon is faint. Some oak in the back.
Absurdly thick. Dry and oaky in the finish. Boozy. Extremely slow drinking.
Gets much more oaky as it warms. Some of the more abrasive characteristics have come out, but all of the complexity of Hunahpu is still there.

2015 BA on Tap at Oskar Blues in Longmont, CO on 4/7/17 for a special CANspiracy event. Jet black (thick) with tan head. Aroma is chocolate and cinnamon with hints of bourbon. Taste is thick rich chocolate with hints of cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla and heat from the peppers with a bourbon cinnamon chocolate finish. Excellent!

Bottle share at Ken’s 20k tasting. Thanks to Ken himself for this whale. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and a little soy. Tastes of coconut, coffee, booze and like wandering in the drawing room of a stately home and licking a weighty tome on the mantelpiece. Hides the booze well. Lovely.
